Chapter 5: The Apprentice of the Divine Stick
Three days later, the new store of Ding Yan Zhai opened, and there were a lot of firecrackers and music. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This thing is not big, but it is not small, because early in the morning, the street is full of idle neighbors who watch the excitement, not for anything else, just because this thing of smashing people's jobs and damaging yin morality has been performed again under Lang Lang Qiankun, and the stall of Ding Yan Zhai has been left behind.
What's even more embarrassing is that this stall is still an uncle with a crutch, and the most embarrassing thing is that the boss shrank inside and didn't appear, so he let a child stand outside and settle down.
Zhou Mushu couldn't figure it out, why he was standing here, crowding in front of the crowd to watch the excitement, Zhou Mushu couldn't figure it out, why did the little girl in front of the pharmacy look so familiar with the pale cyan flag and shouting at the waist?
Could it be that this person is in the same group as Lu Yuanyan?
After a dazed yawn, a woman appeared behind him, and came up with a scolding, "I let you in to say hello, what are you doing here?" ”
"Mother, can we go in in this situation?" Zhou Mushu sighed.
Because of the jar of medicine and wine, Aunt Zhou regarded Lu Yuanyan as a life-saving benefactor, and came to thank her, after a polite greeting, Zhou Mushu became an apprentice of Ding Yanzhai, he wanted to push it off with schoolwork, but he didn't expect that Boss Lu actually offered a very attractive condition: as long as Zhou Mushu is able to help here, Aunt Zhou's medicine can be taken from the store without charging a penny, and when this apprentice has worked for half a year, he can also receive a very generous salary.
So he couldn't say anything this morning, so he could only be pushed here by his own mother in a daze, and saw such a farce.
"You're fucking bullying Lao Tzu, aren't you?" An old man in front of the crowd shouted in his voice with a broken gong, and a bamboo crutch knocked the ground "crackling", "The newly moved sparrows don't ask the wolves on the ground!" The Qing Dynasty is dead, and so is etiquette! ”
"Then you, the wolf of the land, bullied the sparrows, and it became a courtesy, right?" The little girl was not to be outdone, the old man was better than breaking the gong and her voice was loud, she was better than the sharp voice, "You said it and let the big guys comment on it, our new store opened and sent two packs of self-prepared Qinghuo medicine prescriptions and medicine bags, and I accepted it happily before, but now I run to the door and say that we curse you, what kind of reason is it?" ”
There was a lot of chatter in the crowd, which made Zhou Mushu's head hurt, and those who had benefited whispered to help, "How can you call a curse, people are also kind." ”
"The old man of the Niu Hulu family has always been arrogant, and he was a person who went to the battlefield with a red flag when he was young, but now he naturally doesn't let others say how his body and bones are." It was a woman with a handkerchief who spoke, her voice was slight, but everyone heard it clearly, the old man obviously had a little confidence, and his waist was a little straighter.
The little girl was angry and muttered, "Then he won't take it." ”
The old man's eyes widened, and his beard stood up angrily, "You didn't say what it was, just drop the medicine and run, what kind of thing is it, isn't this a curse for the old man to get sick early and ascend to heaven early?" Yes?! ”
Zhou Mushu had woken up for three minutes at this time, looking at the little girl quietly, the strange discomfort actually came up again, although her every sentence was childish, but it made him feel very old, those eyes were staring at the old man at this time, but from time to time they swept over the crowd and stared at his face, but whenever he felt this way and looked at it again, the little girl put her eyes elsewhere, or put her waist to quarrel.
He suddenly had a strange feeling, all this may be pretending, this little girl may not be angry, but observing, observing his reaction, just like last time, he can enter Muli Hutong by himself, but he has to spend an extra twenty oceans for him to run.
Why? Zhou Mushu asked himself in a low voice, but he was suddenly pushed and staggered, and he almost didn't stand firm.
"Forget it." The familiar loud voice sounded defenselessly, Aunt Zhou was in a hurry to let her son in, and she had already pushed through the crowd and squeezed forward, hurriedly squeezing the old man and smiling, "Master Ling, this girl's family is not malicious, right, you have a tough body, the whole street knows, how can anyone dare to look down on you, a wolf warrior, the big guy is right." ”
The crowd has long been accustomed to the prestige of this "Qing Dynasty Wolf Warrior", and they also know that the result of dragging it down is nothing more than that this old wolf is going around to find the weapon shop that has long been not known to fight with people, and at this time they are also a little tired, and they are busy following Aunt Zhou's words for a while.
The old man's eyes narrowed as he listened, "As long as she kowtows to me, I don't care about the past suspicions." ”
Aunt Zhou took advantage of the victory to pursue, waved the little handkerchief, and winked at the little girl, "Sister Ruoning, don't you kowtow to Grandpa Ling?" ”
It turned out to be Ruo Ning, Zhou Mushu yawned again, hugged her arms and continued to watch a good show, the first time she saw Ruo Ning, dressed in a foreign dress, she must have been educated in the West, she may not be willing to kowtow this time.
Sure enough, Ruo Ning gritted her teeth, her two small fists clenched tightly, her neck turned red and she didn't speak, and some young people in the crowd muttered, "It's a bit too bullying girl." ”
The old mother next to him slapped him on the head, "The juniors kneel and the elders don't lose their longevity, you know a fart." ”
Aunt Zhou was still squeezing her eyebrows there, this Zhou Mushu was indifferent, Ruoning suddenly glanced at him with tears, slowly swept through the crowd, suddenly turned around, knelt down with a "plop", and kowtowed three times on the ground.
The old man was satisfied, and turned around proudly to leave, but suddenly heard Aunt Zhou's loud voice resounding through the street, "Ruoning girl!" What happened to you?! ”
Zhou Mushu was shouted by his mother, but he was also startled when he turned around, the little girl was lying on her back on the ground, there was a blood hole in her eyebrows, and there were a lot of blood stains on the floor tiles.
The crowd that was just about to disperse gathered like ants grabbing honey and talked about it.
"It doesn't matter if this little girl is hurt like this, right?"
"You can't be stupid with so much blood on your clothes, right? I said, how can this thin-skinned and tender-fleshed person kowtow his head? ”
“......”
Twenty minutes later, Zhou Mushu sat in Ding Yan Zhai and looked at Lu Yuanyan behind the table, laughing like a madman, Fu Ruoning sat on the medicine cabinet and put a plaster on his forehead.
And Aunt Zhou stood on the side with an anxious face, not knowing where to put her hands and feet, "This... That old man Ling has been playing tricks for a long time, if Sister Ning pulls me and blinks, I know what way she has to deal with this old scoundrel, who would have thought that she would knock herself like this! ”
"Aunt Zhou, I don't hurt." Fu Ruoning shook her legs, and there was a bright smile on her face.
"Of course it doesn't hurt." Zhou Mushu pretended to look at the interior decoration and said with a smile, "Now it has spread all over the streets and alleys, Ling Lao scoundrel bullied the little girl, the little girl knocked her head, and there was no humanity under the scorching sun, isn't it interesting?" ”
Fu Ruoning slapped the torn plaster on the medicine cabinet with a "snap", and said angrily, "Didn't he bully me first?" ”
"Mushu, shut up for me!" Aunt Zhou shouted in a low voice.
Zhou Mushu had to turn his head, he was not a person who liked to sarcastically mock others on weekdays, but firstly, Fu Ruoning's old age made him uncomfortable, and secondly, Fu Ruoning's scheming made him uncomfortable.
"Very good, very good, isn't this all settled?" Lu Yuanyan, as the owner of the brand, was finally willing to say a word, and now he finally changed into a clean jujube red shirt and black caftan for the appearance of the boss, and there was a huge wrench on his finger quite conspicuously, the wrench finger could not see what material it was, it was white and shiny, and the outside was wrapped into a net with shiny silver, with a sparse and neat small bias and gold wire round glasses, which did not look sloppy at all a few days ago.
Lu Yuanyan got up from the chair, took out two more medicines, walked up to Fu Ruoning, and slapped it, Fu Ruoning grinned in pain, but he didn't say anything unexpectedly, just glared at Zhou Mushu fiercely, and turned his head with a "hum".
Zhou Mushu has never had a problem with girls, and he also lightly "hummed" in his nostrils in response, and turned his head again to look at the strange herbs on the wall.
Aunt Zhou was embarrassed again, she wanted to reach out and teach this son etiquette, she just raised her hand, but was interrupted by Lu Yuanyan's surprised voice, "Eh, Aunt Zhou, you see that this has delayed you for a while, it's time for the weaving workshop to start." ”
There was a conspicuous Western clock standing on the counter, Aunt Zhou naturally wouldn't look at this foreign thing, but after a little look at the sun outside, the cold sweat came down, and the slap still fell on Zhou Mushu, and then he hurriedly walked out, and he didn't want to roar two sentences, "It's all because you don't let this little rabbit cub worry about me, how can I just make a lamp out of the grass, eh, this is troublesome, shopkeeper Lu, you help me educate him well!" ”
"Slow down and don't knock here, I'm here." Lu Yuanyan had a smirk on his face, and his face was harmless to people and animals facing the sun.
After hearing this, Aunt Zhou walked away with confidence, and several people watched the back that was already a little staggering disappear at the mouth of the alley, and Zhou Mushu suddenly had a sour nose.
Lu Yuanyan stretched his waist and paced back into the rattan chair, sighing, "Aunt Zhou's voice is loud, it doesn't look like she has tuberculosis." ”
"She's a habit, she can't change it, she could have gotten better faster." Zhou Mushu said in a low voice, "My father was a poor man who sold bean juice back then, and he couldn't shout because he was thin-skinned, so he relied on her good voice, who knew that he would become tuberculosis." ”
"So it's great that you're here as an apprentice." Lu Yuanyan straightened up and began to pull his fingers, "This is to learn some skills, the second is to get medicine for free, and the third is to make a little money, how can I hear that you are still reluctant at the beginning?" ”
Zhou Mushu's expression suddenly felt a little strange, he looked at Lu Yuanyan, and then at this shop full of classical charm, and sighed.
"What's the matter? This pie is too sudden, too real, and smashed? Lu Yuanyan said incredulously, "You won't be like this, right?" ”
"He's the shaft, second uncle, leave him alone." Fu Ruo condensed the cavity.
"Go, go, play." Lu Yuanyan waved at her, and Fu Ruoning flattened her mouth and ran to the back of the house as if she was relieved.
The two of them were still staring at each other with big eyes, staring for a long time, Zhou Mushu suddenly knocked his hand on the table, and the words were even more incredible, "I think the conditions here are so good, either there is no other purpose or a thief's nest, and now this world is a mess, although I Zhou Mushu is a poor man, I will not fall into trouble with people who are not clear." What's more, you have already been eyeing me, Fu Ruoning stepped on the point too obviously, when I saw her today, I was a fool and couldn't see that the two of you were together. ”
"Ruoning?" Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanyan reacted even more, and the little gold edge slipped off half of it, and directly ignored the embarrassed words, "What's wrong with Ruoning?" You've had a feud before? ”
"You don't know?" Zhou Mushu's eyes widened, "It's her!" Two days ago, Muli Hutong stopped me and asked me to send something to Narong Belle Mansion, a second uncle's silk gown, didn't you let me?! ”
"Of course not." Lu Yuanyan packed the ticket, "I let her send it in by herself, who would have thought that she was so smart and secretly found you first without me!" ”
Lu Yuanyan "tsk" twice, "Mistake, mistake." ”
"Then I'm relieved...... Wait, so what does it mean to be smart? Zhou Mushu reacted, and as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was raised again, "Is it really for another purpose to set me in advance?" ”
"Of course!" Lu Yuanyan slapped the table, and his fingers trembled.
"For what purpose? My family is very poor. ”
Lu Yuanyan raised his eyebrows, "Looking for you to be an apprentice." ”
"Scared the hell out of me." Zhou Mushu breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled again, "Then what are your conditions?" ”
Lu Yuanyan patted his chest, "Do what you say!" ”
"That's good...... Do you have a book on medicinal herbs? ”
"Yes, yes, but what do you want that?"
"When you are an apprentice in a pharmacy, you naturally have to learn."
"Who gave you an apprenticeship in a pharmacy? I'm talking about letting you learn to look at each other and catch ghosts! ”
"Okay, wait...... What's that? ”
